Keyer Question

A few months ago I had 4 new tyres fitted on my KIA Sportage (05 plate) 2.0 litre diesel. Unfortunately, they needed balancing and the guy came back and did this. Again they still weren't right, especially on the motorway and decided to go to someone else (a family member) to get it done properly once and for all. Unfortunately, upon trying to remove the tyres with the socket to remove the wheel locking nut, it would appear that the mobile tyre changer has put the wrong socket back and we are unable to get the tyres off. We tried contacting him but he has had a motorbike accident and is unable to take calls for obvious reasons. It has been a couple of months since he came and we are now desperate to get this sorted. Is there anywhere we can get hold of one of these sockets?
